Choreographed AirOrbs for Petronas

For the opening ceremony of a new research centre, Airstage flew 3 AirOrbs through a predetermined flight path that interacted with both the performer and images on the video wall.

It was decided early on in the preparations that the three AirOrbs would be manually-flown by our trained pilots. Using pilots to fly such choreographed shows drastically reduces the set-up and preparation time whilst it eliminates the need to utilise a complex and costrly optical tracking and flight control systems. After just one rehearsal day, the pilots had learnt the choreography and the show was ready for presentation.
